The entire nation needs to pull the rug on Obama and not just on his gun control plans...

The entire nation needs to pull the rug on Obama and not just on his gun control plans...

The Folly of Obama’s Gun Control Push….

Didn't Hitler have a youth corps? Didn't Hitler also have a motto of "Forward", in German of course? Didn't Hitler also disarm the populace before murdering them? In this 40th anniversary year of Roe V. Wade, shouldn't liberals keep their mouths shut about murdering kids....I mean, 55,000,000 and counting is a lot of those little ones made in the image of God. Kind of puts Newtown in a proper perspective, huh? (Genesis 9:6 for the Christians among you.... By the way, Genesis 9:6 is also the verse that is the spiritual undergirding for our capital punishment system.

Regarding guns...nope, not any of mine....nope, not my hollow points.....nope, not my magazines....what part of nope do you all think Hussein doesn't understand? Fact is, even after my active duty Marine years ('64-'73), it wasn't until Barack the Usurper-in-Chief came to power that I even decided to arm myself. I kind of figured that after 26 months in Vietnam (Marines did 13 month tours), I wasn't going to mess with weapons anymore.

Barack changed all that for me. He is Smith & Wessons' salesman of the year. Trouble with liberals who disdain human life to begin with...such as those who choose to join together with their own and then cannot procreate...or those who continue to vote democrat and stand on that abortion party platform plank... is that they need to be slapped every now and then.

Barack Hussein Obama will/may be making the worst mistake of his life...and so will the sheriffs, other law types that side with our Constitution violator. As a real Christian, I cannot kill anyone nor can I lead anyone to captivity except of course, in defense of myself, my family and/or other innocents. War is not killing so never think I violated my well being but for the record, I was not a born again Christian either in the '60s. Still, God used many countries throughout history as the 'point of the spear'. America used to be willing to be used of God...now Obama wants Allah to save America and to use her to deal with the 'apple of God's eye'...his people, the Jew. Selling jets to Saudi Arabia and Egypt...arming the caliphate I'd say.

Bottom line here, is, America is probably on the brink of civil war and will be viewed as such by most involved which will be the whole damn country...martial law and the whole nine yards. We know Obama will be the one determining the mental health of some he would allow to have guns but for sure Obama believes veterans, Christians, anti-abortionists, anti-Islamists and so many others are disturbed and these are the ones he would seek to disarm first. Those mentally ill sickos who shot up the movie theater and then the school were both on drugs given to those who probably should be locked up instead. But...liberals began emptying asylums in the '50s and now we all join their doctors in prayer..."Oh my God, this I pray, let them take their three per day".

In the very least, Obama is coming off as the tyrant even as he whispered he would to the Russians. In the middle, he is listening to demons and other evil principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places, in the worst case, he is the anti-Christ..and considering the mutt he is, who knows, he may be a product of the revived Roman empire....does it matter...his days are numbered, the pit is open and waiting, whoever he is.

Continue to watch Israel as Obama continues to destroy America. America is not mentioned except as one of 'all the nations of the world' which will come against Israel...and it is when you see Israel, 'compassed about by armies' that you should know your redemption draweth nigh'.

Watch Damascus....she is going from city life to a ruinous heap over the course of a single evening....Isaiah 17:1 and 17:14.

After us Christians are gone, if Obama is the one who is instrumental in making that peace treaty with Israel, that 7 year pact, then you will know who he is. That evil man of perdition will also take a bullet to the head and be killed but resurrected by the false prophet....some say the next pope, Peter of Rome. In Revelations 16:2, if you haven't obeyed our junior messiah-in-chief, and taken his 'embeddable rfid chip' as Obamacare dictates, then you will not incur the wrath of the angel spilling out his vial on those who do take that mark. Those who do will be covered with 'onerous sores'....yuk, and probably stinky too. You should be able to smell them coming. The angel was doing a test run and accidentally spilled some on George Soros...man that is one ugly dude.

I suppose this is a good as time as ever to nutshell a synopsis of what is to befall this nation in the near future and Revelations will clue everyone in to a whole lot more. Okay...I will post a meaningful blog or two so you can get some scripture references...then, I am saying good night.

This first blog will clue all as to my reasons for suggesting the next pope...Peter of Rome will be what St. Malachy describes as the 'defective pontiff', which I am sure includes Chrislam...trying to join Christians that are still here with Islamists who have to realize....that is one helluva big pit. Room for all 1.6 billion of them and their ancestors...one in particular...that Mohammed clown. It follows:

Considering Barack Hussein Obama is more than like a stealthy jihadist as one gets muslimhood from pops. If you walk away from that mess, you become a target. Muslims do not target Obama. So, like father, like son....it is appropriate to provide some background regarding that apostasy known as Islam. It follows:

Too many American religionists believe somehow that because the Jews played a hand in Jesus' death, God has disfavored the Jew and assigned 'apple of God's eye' status to them. Nothing could be further from the truth but that is why so many so called Americans are ready to deliver Israel up to new enemies of Israel such as Libya and especially Egypt which Obama is arming and using our military to train with. A cursory glance at Romans 11 should warn Christians but some have a way of parsing scripture...never knowing what it all means. My thoughts on that follows:

All of this because The Five (a Fox News program airing at 5 EST), brought up the fact that crazy uncle Joe Biden's backdrop as he spells out his recommendations on gun control to our Narcissist-in-Chief, will be kids and I am sure we will hear plenty about Newtown...after all, like Rahm Emmanuel says, an emergency is too good to waste.

My friends have a great evening...all others I send this too and you know who you are...suck eggs! This began as a short email to The Five and Bob Beckel can be one of those to suck eggs.

What ever we do we need to remain the adults. The Conservaphobes won't need much of an excuse to start a riot and blame it on us.

What ever we do we need to remain the adults. The Conservaphobes won't need much of an excuse to start a riot and blame it on us. A group of us has posted a petition on the attached link which should if acted upon by Congress remove the guts from the Central Government and return us to a true Republic. Please read the Petition and sign it. Look up your (State) Petition to repeal the 16th and 17th Amendment to the Constitution.

what will americans do when Obama puts tanks in our neighborhoods and will claim that they're there for our safety (When opposite would be ttrue)??? So, are protests going to achieve anything without any action?

what will americans do when Obama puts tanks in our neighborhoods and will claim that they're there for our safety (When opposite would be ttrue)??? So, are protests going to achieve anything without any action? I think we'll be better prepared when we unite in our communities and take action and prepare for what's to come...Obama's turning up more heat on the frog in a pot.

Americans are waiting and waiting too long. Something needs to happen...a) Americans turning back to God b) Americans fasting as a nation for 40 days c) Americans have an action plan and becoming as one...

Lisa: There is an action plan to remove the source of the Central Government's power, our personal wealth. And also to give the States back their voice in Government to say "NO" to the Central Government. Please go to the above link, find (MI) Petition to repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments to the Constitution. Get all of your Michigan Friends to sign this petition.
Thank You.

The states as well as the people have given up the power they are suppose to have to "big" brother. It is time for the people and the state governments to get the power back that they have freely given away either knowingly or unknowingly.

It is time that "We The People" wake up and pay attention to what is going on. We must not stay in our comfort zones. We must not think that those officials we elect will do the right thing. It appears to easy for them to become corrupt, to fall into the traps of evil. We cannot be complacent.

I agree we need to make noise by speaking out, writing our government representatives, attending rallys and volunteer to help counter the big voice of leftist media and stand against the infringements of our Constitution.

We always want to come across as "The Adults" in the room. The Truth, logic and reason will win the day. All the "Left" will have against us is half truths and personal attacks, oh yea, and the media.

All the "Left" will have against us is half truths and personal attacks, oh yea, and the media. We really have no choice but to take our message to the streets and our local State and Federal offices to get our point across.

I am but a minority of one, but I am absolutely happy about the upsurge of states that are trumping the federal government with the Tenth Amendment. It shows that there are governors and state legislators listening to their constituents and showing that WE THE PEOPLE still have a voice.

I am but a minority of one, but I am absolutely happy about the upsurge of states that are trumping the federal government with the Tenth Amendment. It shows that there are governors and state legislators listening to their constituents and showing that WE THE PEOPLE still have a voice. I highly encourage everyone to contact their state legislators and let them know where you weigh in on the obvious power grab of the federal government, and thank them for standing up for your rights. Follow that correspondence with a letter to your federal legislators and tell them to support not only their constituents, but the governors from their home state. Don't cower under the weight of this oppression.

It amazes me that no one in the federal government, and a lot of state governments are not addressing the true reason for events like Sandy Hook and other crimes of violence. They are not addressing the criminal element, and seem not to realize that gun control will not sway the criminal from carrying out his business plan, and continue profiting from criminal activity with impunity knowing that he, the criminal, will be the only armed person in his targeted area.

For some reason people who don't buy the stories that the government and the media put forth as the whole truth and insist on asking questions are considered paranoid, or conspiracy theorists and there for crazy.

Just because some one is paranoid or sees signs of a conspiracy doesn't necessarily mean they are wrong. Like- If you agree!

Maybe it is the Central Government that is paranoid because it KNOWS it has been doing wrong and is sneaking along in disbelief that they have gotten away with all these crimes against the Constitution and the People. Its only choice is to use the media to paint us as the paranoid ones.

Whatever happened to our God given right to be left alone in our person and our property?

Remember this?? I bet he is turning over in his grave.. This address applies MORE today than it did 32 yrs ago. Read it. Remember it. Honor it by taking a stand for this great land and never give up or give in! God Bless......

To a few of us here today this is a solemn and most momentous occasion, and yet in the history of our nation it is a commonplace occurrence. The orderly transfer of authority as called for in the Constitution routinely takes place, as it has for almost two centuries, and few of us stop to think how unique we really are. In the eyes of many in the world, this every 4-year ceremony we accept as normal is nothing less than a miracle.

Mr. President, I want our fellow citizens to know how much you did to carry on this tradition. By your gracious cooperation in the transition process, you have shown a watching world that we are a united people pledged to maintaining a political system which guarantees individual liberty to a greater degree than any other, and I thank you and your people for all your help in maintaining the continuity which is the bulwark of our Republic.

The business of our nation goes forward. These United States are confronted with an economic affliction of great proportions. We suffer from the longest and one of the worst sustained inflations in our national history. It distorts our economic decisions, penalizes thrift, and crushes the struggling young and the fixed-income elderly alike. It threatens to shatter the lives of millions of our people.

Idle industries have cast workers into unemployment, human misery, and personal indignity. Those who do work are denied a fair return for their labor by a tax system which penalizes successful achievement and keeps us from maintaining full productivity.

But great as our tax burden is, it has not kept pace with public spending. For decades we have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children's future for the temporary convenience of the present. To continue this long trend is to guarantee tremendous social, cultural, political, and economic upheavals.

You and I, as individuals, can, by borrowing, live beyond our means, but for only a limited period of time. Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we're not bound by that same limitation? We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow. And let there be no misunderstanding: We are going to begin to act, beginning today.

The economic ills we suffer have come upon us over several decades. They will not go away in days, weeks, or months, but they will go away. They will go away because we as Americans have the capacity now, as we've had in the past, to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom.

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.

We hear much of special interest groups. Well, our concern must be for a special interest group that has been too long neglected. It knows no sectional boundaries or ethnic and racial divisions, and it crosses political party lines. It is made up of men and women who raise our food, patrol our streets, man our mines and factories, teach our children, keep our homes, and heal us when we're sick—professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, cabbies, and truck drivers. They are, in short, "We the people," this breed called Americans.

Well, this administration's objective will be a healthy, vigorous, growing economy that provides equal opportunities for all Americans, with no barriers born of bigotry or discrimination. Putting America back to work means putting all Americans back to work. Ending inflation means freeing all Americans from the terror of runaway living costs. All must share in the productive work of this "new beginning," and all must share in the bounty of a revived economy. With the idealism and fair play which are the core of our system and our strength, we can have a strong and prosperous America, at peace with itself and the world.

So, as we begin, let us take inventory. We are a nation that has a government—not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.

It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the Federal establishment and to demand recognition of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal Government and those reserved to the States or to the people. All of us need to be reminded that the Federal Government did not create the States; the States created the Federal Government.

Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it's not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work--work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it.

If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on Earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.

It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel and are proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government. It is time for us to realize that we're too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams. We're not, as some would have us believe, doomed to an inevitable decline. I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing. So, with all the creative energy at our command, let us begin an era of national renewal. Let us renew our determination, our courage, and our strength. And let us renew our faith and our hope.

We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say that we're in a time when there are not heroes, they just don't know where to look. You can see heroes every day going in and out of factory gates. Others, a handful in number, produce enough food to feed all of us and then the world beyond. You meet heroes across a counter, and they're on both sides of that counter. There are entrepreneurs with faith in themselves and faith in an idea who create new jobs, new wealth and opportunity. They're individuals and families whose taxes support the government and whose voluntary gifts support church, charity, culture, art, and education. Their patriotism is quiet, but deep. Their values sustain our national life.

Now, I have used the words "they" and "their" in speaking of these heroes. I could say "you" and "your," because I'm addressing the heroes of whom I speak—you, the citizens of this blessed land. Your dreams, your hopes, your goals are going to be the dreams, the hopes, and the goals of this administration, so help me God.

We shall reflect the compassion that is so much a part of your makeup. How can we love our country and not love our countrymen; and loving them, reach out a hand when they fall, heal them when they're sick, and provide opportunity to make them self-sufficient so they will be equal in fact and not just in theory?

Can we solve the problems confronting us? Well, the answer is an unequivocal and emphatic "yes." To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I did not take the oath I've just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world's strongest economy.

In the days ahead I will propose removing the roadblocks that have slowed our economy and reduced productivity. Steps will be taken aimed at restoring the balance between the various levels of government. Progress may be slow, measured in inches and feet, not miles, but we will progress. It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden. And these will be our first priorities, and on these principles there will be no compromise.

On the eve of our struggle for independence a man who might have been one of the greatest among the Founding Fathers, Dr. Joseph Warren, president of the Massachusetts Congress, said to his fellow Americans, "Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of . . . . On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important questions upon which rests the happiness and the liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves."

Well, I believe we, the Americans of today, are ready to act worthy of ourselves, ready to do what must be done to ensure happiness and liberty for ourselves, our children, and our children's children. And as we renew ourselves here in our own land, we will be seen as having greater strength throughout the world. We will again be the exemplar of freedom and a beacon of hope for those who do not now have freedom.

To those neighbors and allies who share our freedom, we will strengthen our historic ties and assure them of our support and firm commitment. We will match loyalty with loyalty. We will strive for mutually beneficial relations. We will not use our friendship to impose on their sovereignty, for our own sovereignty is not for sale.

As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it; we will not surrender for it, now or ever.

Our forbearance should never be misunderstood. Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will. When action is required to preserve our national security, we will act. We will maintain sufficient strength to prevail if need be, knowing that if we do so we have the best chance of never having to use that strength.

Above all, we must realize that no arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have. It is a weapon that we as Americans do have. Let that be understood by those who practice terrorism and prey upon their neighbors.

I'm told that tens of thousands of prayer meetings are being held on this day, and for that I'm deeply grateful. We are a nation under God, and I believe God intended for us to be free. It would be fitting and good, I think, if on each Inaugural Day in future years it should be declared a day of prayer.

This is the first time in our history that this ceremony has been held, as you've been told, on this West Front of the Capitol. Standing here, one faces a magnificent vista, opening up on this city's special beauty and history. At the end of this open mall are those shrines to the giants on whose shoulders we stand.

Directly in front of me, the monument to a monumental man, George Washington, father of our country. A man of humility who came to greatness reluctantly. He led America out of revolutionary victory into infant nationhood. Off to one side, the stately memorial to Thomas Jefferson. The Declaration of Independence flames with his eloquence. And then, beyond the Reflecting Pool, the dignified columns of the Lincoln Memorial. Whoever would understand in his heart the meaning of America will find it in the life of Abraham Lincoln.

Beyond those monuments to heroism is the Potomac River, and on the far shore the sloping hills of Arlington National Cemetery, with its row upon row of simple white markers bearing crosses or Stars of David. They add up to only a tiny fraction of the price that has been paid for our freedom.

Each one of those markers is a monument to the kind of hero I spoke of earlier. Their lives ended in places called Belleau Wood, The Argonne, Omaha Beach, Salerno, and halfway around the world on Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Pork Chop Hill, the Chosin Reservoir, and in a hundred rice paddies and jungles of a place called Vietnam.

Under one such marker lies a young man, Martin Treptow, who left his job in a small town barbershop in 1917 to go to France with the famed Rainbow Division. There, on the western front, he was killed trying to carry a message between battalions under heavy artillery fire.

We're told that on his body was found a diary. On the flyleaf under the heading, "My Pledge," he had written these words: "America must win this war. Therefore I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone."

The crisis we are facing today does not require of us the kind of sacrifice that Martin Treptow and so many thousands of others were called upon to make. It does require, however, our best effort and our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds, to believe that together with God's help we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us.

And after all, why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans.
God bless you, and thank you.

I've lived by a "code" I chose decades ago, and "living it" has caused me a reasonable amount of "distress" over the years, but a person must have "lines" that cannot be crossed [and] must have a "place" to say "enough" and mean it.
